How do I calculate the percentage in a easier way in steps

From the record sheet:

• Actual attendance (M Total) = 48
• Number of students on roll = 6 Boys + 9 Girls = 15 students
• Number of days = 5 (Monday to Friday)
• Total possible attendance = Number of students $\times$ Number of days

$$\text{Total possible attendance} = 15 \times 5 = 75$$

The attendance percentage is calculated as the ratio of actual attendance to possible attendance, multiplied by $100\%$.

$$\text{Attendance Fraction} = \frac{\text{Actual Attendance}}{\text{Possible Attendance}} = \frac{48}{75}$$

Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (48) and the denominator (75). Both 48 and 75 are divisible by 3.

$$\frac{48 \div 3}{75 \div 3} = \frac{16}{25}$$

Multiply the simplified fraction by $100\%$.

$$\frac{16}{25} \times 100\%$$

You can simplify by dividing 100 by 25 first:

$$16 \times \left(\frac{100}{25}\right)\%$$ $$16 \times 4\%$$ $$\text{Attendance Percentage} = \boxed{\text{64\%}}$$
